THE JUDICIARY AMENDMENT.


Occasionally reports come to US
where campaign orators deign to
consider the proposed amendments
to the constitution in their reg
ular order without copfnlng them
selves exclusively to the prohibitory
law. The amendment changing the
judiciary system Of the state is most
salutary provision for the proper adjust
ment of our courts and the expedition
of law business. 1t should be discussed
more freely than it has been, and the
necessity for its adoption pointed
out TO voters The number of Supreme
Judges are to be increased and the
province of the various courts defued.
This increase in the number of Supreme
JUDGES will not, as it appears at first
blush, increase the expenses of that court,
but, on the contrary, reduce them by
doing away with the Commission of
Appeals, thus cutting off the expense Of
one Judges salary. The proposed law
was conceived and submitted by the
very ablest lawyers in the state. 1t has
not only the support of those distiR-
guishet legal gentlemen, who have been
elected 10 the Senate by the people, rut
it has the almost entire support of the
Leading lawyers of the state who have
seen and felt the effects of our present
defective and anomalous system and the
absolute necessity for the change. There
is no politics or psrtisanship in these
each must stand or fall on
It's own merits. Whether a voter casts
his ballot for or against prohibition
should not prevent him from supporting
these other amendments, all Of which
have been submitted because the exegen-
cies OF the times called loudly for their
enactment.

of this Eus ness will also carry with IL
the headquarters of the State Alliance,
the headquarters of the Co-0perative
Manufacturing Alliance, the Alliance
Publishing and Printing business, and all
the other departments of the State Agen-
cy, such Gs the agricultural implement
and machinery department, and the pur-
chasing and distributing department of
the State Alliance Business Agency,
which will probably have to supply
several hundred stores with general
merchandise. We have 10 authority
to locate all these associate branches
positively with the Cotton and
Produce Exchange, but the location of
the exchange il any city, and the fact
that the city has testified that it is wei
come and desired. by a donation of
$4,000 or $500, 900, will settle the To-
cation of all beyond q possible doubt
While we do not wish to antagoniza any
location or class, we conceive il TO be
absolutely necessary to the achievement
OF the very best results that the whole
business be concentrated at some avail
able point. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the location of this exchange will make
the city in which located the trade center
OF the state OF Texas, and the choice CT 4
place is made because IL is absolutely
necessary, and we will expect donation
sufficient to meet the expenditures neces-
sary to cree: suitable buildings and
premises and to start the business. THIS
business will be worth at least $500
per annum to the banks slone.n
"What is the nature and terms of the
proposition to the various cities from the
State Alliance, TO secure this cotton and
produce exchange"
"No formal offer or statement CT the
conditions of the competition mas az yet
been made to any city, bu: in reply 70 in
quiries on this point it has generally been
understood that the exchange would be
secured by the donation OF 500, goo
divided thus: Ten thousand dollars cash
down, $40, 600 il the spring and the bsI-
ance in the fall of 1888. These payments
would thus be available for and would be
used largely in the erection of build
ings."
"By what time will you expect an an
swer to this proposition?"
eve will want al answer by the 10th
Of July"

Special to the Gazette.
TERRELL, Ten, June 27.-The Terrell
railroad committee has been CLOSELY at
work for several months past in CORE
spondence with railroads either now IN
operation or soon TO be. Information re-
ceived from time to time within the past
TWO weeks appeared of vital interest TO
our people and, after consultation, it
Wes deemed necessary TO have meeting
Of business men and capitalists Of Ter
Tau. Accordingly, meeting vas held IN
Grinnan Rei1hGrdt's office Friday that
continued until g late hour. Plans,
routes, future prospects and available
cash were the points before the meeting.
After several hours OF sctive work the
meeting adjourned, after appointing
committees 10 visit Galveston, St. Louis,
Chicago, New York and Boston: all these
and other points If necessary. On these
committees are such men SIS Ms

ing. The house vas crowded with men

earHestCCss. They have given the COM
mittee big amount II work, out it is : e
general belief that everything can be &C
cOmplished. Five mere roads, Or rather
rogds running five directions from Ter
rel IS what our people are aiming st.
These rOsGs point north, northwest,
southwest, south, southeast. We have
propositions to join other roads pointing
toWaTd Terrsl, and others desire confer
ence WITH. our people, or Z committee
representing our moneyed men in regsrd
to railroad matters. This matter has
been several months working up, IS was
noticed IN an article il The
GAZETTE several weeks ago.
These committees will start
out on their mission as soon as Ger
tain railway directories notifg them when
and where they desire to meet them.
There il not the least excitement over
this move. 1t is q move made by NOR
eyed men Tor the benefit OF Terrell, and
when Terrell moves in this way some
thing IS almost sure TO happen. The
meeting adjourned subject to call OF
chairman, which will be as soon SIS the
committees return and get ready for
report, which will be from three 10 five
weeks hence.

miles from the geographical center Of the

in February, 1885, leaving the bulk OF his
amounting TO 100000 to
Amanda, she to only use the interest On
the money, and at h6r death il is TO 90 to
her two sons. The relatives Of Dixon
tried to set this will aside, but without
success, both the Superior and Supreme
courts decided in favor of Amanda.
By this decision of The Supreme court
Amanda Dixon IS mSde the richest negro
in America and probably the richest in the
world.

In the republic Of the United States
we see many things which, for a time,
rise threateningly and shadow the land
with ominious gloom, but they soon pass
away and leave our country brighter and
better. We have had many tests and
strains on our ship CT state, but she has
weRthered every storm and still sails
grandly on her glorious voyage. There
are those who delight in predicting the
worst-dark, grumbling pessimists-eyil
prophesying CRssandras, VINO are COZ
tinuslly telling US just when and how the
government Of the people will fall.
These Cr0akers had an absolute fulfill
ment Of their dark predictions in the late
war For time they felt that they were
prophets who were honored in
their own lard. They pointed with
pride to the shattered constitution ano
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union and with
sn exuItant monotony repeated: 81 told

horrors, served only to qve the compact

the W, sn) -tion has been settled other
orsuons and other predictions have

labor question, the monopoly question,
and, lastly, the "gambling in the necessa-
ries Of life" question, each in turn were
the little clouds no bigger than g mans
hand that were going to break in fury
over the unfortunate land, leaving de-
struction and political disintegration in
their wake Some of these storms
have reached US, but they have
done no harm. In many instances
they have been barbingers of much good.
They created g furry for time, but
when this furry was spent the atmos-

The devastation which was to have been

TIE GAZETTE would again urge upon
the voters that each one Of the amend
ments submitted to the people must stand
or fall upon its merits as dis
tinCt proposition. The prohibition
amendment so engrosses public
attention that little consider
alton is being given to the others. It
has suited the selfish purpose of some
men 10 tell the people that vote for or
against prohibition is also g vote for or
against All the other proposed amend
ments This is untrue. Each amend
meDt proposed is a separate proposition,
a-t 10 one OF the proposed amendments
IL be affected by any vote cast for any
other one OF the proposed amendments.
